Abstract

Multiple Bragg gratings are fabricated in a single planar lightwave circuit platform. The gratings have nominally identical grating spacing but different center wavelengths, which are produced using controlled photolithographic processes and/or controlled doping to control the effective refractive index of the gratings. The gratings may be spaced closer together than the height of the UV light pattern used to write the gratings.

[Prior art] Optical communication systems transmit information between two places by using a carrier wave in the electromagnetic spectrum that is located in the visible or infrared region. This carrier is sometimes called an optical signal, an optical carrier, or a light wave signal. Optical fiber transmits light wave signals with several channels. A channel is a specific frequency band of an electromagnetic signal, sometimes called a wavelength. Multiple channels are transmitted together through the same fiber to take advantage of unprecedented capacity advantages offered by fiber. Basically, each chirp has its own wavelength, and all wavelengths are spaced enough to avoid overlap. Hundreds of thousands of channels are typically inserted with multiplexers, injected into the optical fiber, and separated by a demultiplexer for reception. Along this path, you can increase or decrease the channel with an increase / decrease multiplexer (ADM), or switch it with a recombination optical switch (0xc). Facilitates the propagation of multiple channels in a single fiber for Wave Multiplexing (WDM). The demultiplexing multiplexing component uses frequency-selective components such as gratings to separate individual wavelengths. With the goal of increasing the transmission capacity of the fiber, it can provide high reflectivity and high wavelength selection. In a planar waveguide), it selectively emits or reflects light of a specific wavelength propagating inside an optical fiber. The Bragg grating has a refractive index profile, which is a component of an optical fiber or a planar waveguide, which varies periodically along the length of the fiber. The center wave of the Bragg grating 86896 200411219 The long distribution is determined by the following equation: λ = 2ηΛ (Equation 1) where λ is the central (or Bragg) wavelength, η is the average effective refractive index, and eight is the period of the grating (or the grating interval). Simple periodic fiber Bragg gratings are well known in the art and many different methods have been used in the manufacture of fiber Bragg gratings. A characteristic of the fiber Bragg device is that, as shown in Equation 1, in order to change the central wavelength distribution, the refractive index or the grating interval can be changed. Prior art techniques focused on changing the grating spacing by changing the interference pattern used to define the grating distribution. The interference pattern is changed by changing the internal beam angle between the two overlapping interference ultraviolet (UV) lights used to expose the optical fiber or changing the phase mask that the UV light passes through. However, changing the phase mask or the angle of the internal beam tends to be expensive, cumbersome, and labor-intensive, especially when trying to manufacture a large number of different types of fiber Bragg gratings for filtering and other applications in optical communication systems. For example, in order to manufacture a fiber Bragg grating with a central wavelength distribution of a phase well, the writing device needs to be set to a phase-enhancing wavelength, for example, by replacing a phase mask. In order to write a long fiber Bragg grating, the fiber needs to be converted to a long range to expose a new part of the optical fiber to UV light. Similarly, to write a grating based on a chirped broadband fiber, a dynamic frequency shift mask is generally used, and a new phase mask is used for each new dynamic frequency shift distribution. In addition, individual Bragg gratings in individual gratings generally require time-consuming multiple exposures and fiber extension processing to control the fiber. [Summary of the Invention] 86896 200411219 The present invention provides a method for generating multiple gratings in or on a single planar lightwave circuit (PLC), comprising: forming a group of regions with different effective refractive indices in a waveguide; and an ultraviolet The group of regions is exposed under a (UV) intensity pattern to form a group of gratings, wherein the groups of gratings have approximately the same grating interval and different center wavelengths. [Embodiment] A specific embodiment of the present invention is directed to the manufacture of a waveguide grating. In the following description, a variety of specific details are presented, such as special treatments, materials, devices, etc., and a thorough understanding of specific embodiments of the present invention will be readily understood. However, those familiar with the related field should know that the specific embodiments of the present invention can be implemented without one or more specific ones, one or more methods or components. In other instances, well-known structures or operations have not been shown or described in detail, so as not to hinder the understanding of the present invention. Some descriptions will be expressed in terms such as wavelength, dream, cone, grating, dynamic frequency shift, etc. These terms are commonly used by those skilled in the art to express the meaning of their work to others who are familiar with the art. Various operations are sequentially described in a plurality of individual block diagrams, and the best understanding of the specific embodiments of the present invention is done. However, these operations should not be considered to be related in the order necessary or performed in the order shown in the block diagrams because of the described order. Looking at "a specific embodiment" of this specification, it means that there is a special appearance, process, block diagram or feature in at least one specific embodiment of the invention and described with that specific embodiment. The description, in various places, in 86896 200411219 a specific embodiment, "B" does not need to refer to the same specific embodiment. In addition, the special appearance, structure or feature may be incorporated into one or more specific embodiments in any suitable manner. In the embodiment, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a photonic device 100 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. The photonic device 100 includes a single waveguide 102 formed in or on a planar lightwave circuit (PLC) platform 104. The waveguide 102 includes several serially connected gratings 106, 108, and 110. The waveguide 102 may have a circular pattern (as shown in FIG. 1) or other layouts. The waveguide may be a single-mode waveguide. Alternatively, the waveguide 102 may be multiple Mode waveguide. The PLC platform 104 may be any suitable PLC platform manufactured using appropriate semiconductor processing equipment. For example, the platform 102 may be a silicon on silicon platform, a clock on oxide (LiNbCb) platform, or a gallium arsenide (GaAs) platform , Indium phosphide (InP) platform, silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform, silicon oxynitride (Si0N) platform, polymer platform, or other appropriate planar lightwave circuit (PLC) platform. Gratings 106, 108, and 110 may be The grating spacing (Λ) is nominally the same, but the center wavelength is different. This is because each grating 106, 108, and u are doped with different concentrations and / or types of dopants. The effective refractive indices of the grating regions of gratings 106, 108 and 110 are different. The grating region of the waveguide is where the grating will be written. The dopant may be any suitable photosensitive material, such as boron (B), germanium (Ge ) And / or phosphorus (P). The refractive index of this doped region will vary depending on the UV dose. Therefore, if the UV light has a periodically changing intensity pattern (as is the case when writing a grating), after UV exposure, the doped region will have a periodically changing refractive index to form a grating. In another specific embodiment, the refractive index can be locally adjusted by hydrogenation of the sample and pre-exposure of selected segments of 86896 200411219 with UV light. After the hydrogen output gas treatment, these paragraphs still maintain photosensitivity. The UV dose controls the average refractive index and the photosensitivity sensed. An example of hydrogenation will be described in more detail with FIG. 3 below. The gratings 106, 108, and 110 may be adjacent to each other (e.g., the interval 120 may be smaller than the height of the UV light intensity pattern used to write the gratings 106, 108, and 110). By placing the gratings closer together, in some embodiments, the thumb can be written in one exposure. One or more of the gratings 106, 108, and 110 may be longer than the UV beam length of a book nest grating. In a specific embodiment of the invention, the UV beam is 1 cm long, and the grating 106 is 2 cm long. In other embodiments, the UV beam and / or grid sizes can be different. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a process 200 for manufacturing a photonic device 100 (FIG. 1) according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. The machine with the mechanically readable instructions can be used to take the medium to make the processor perform processing. The processing of 200 is just an example processing, and other processing may be used. The processes and sequences described in the above description should not be considered as related in the order necessary for these operations, or the operations should be performed in the order presented in the block diagram. Xin read Figures 1 and 2, using standard semiconductor manufacturing technology, perform operation 202 to manufacture waveguides 102 of different widths in or on the PLC platform. These technologies cover the expansion & plating, physical vapor deposition, ion-assisted deposition, lithography, electroplating, electron beam money mirrors, masking, reactive ion engraving and / or, etc. Well-known semiconductor manufacturing technology. For example, in one specific example, the 'waveguide 102' has a core formed from an oxide such as precious earth. Still referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, operation 204 is performed to dope a selected area of the waveguide 86896 -10- 200411219 102 that will be used as a light thumb. For example, a transient cover layer can be formed on the waveguide and then patterned to define a grating region in the waveguide. The π treatment may be performed before the top cladding layer is deposited. In some embodiments, it may be performed after the top cladding layer is formed, and the top cladding layer may be added instead of the core layer. In this alternative embodiment, the gradually disappearing range of the propagating light will be affected by the light peach written in the cover. Alternatively, the cladding can be patterned and etched to define the mask area, and the cladding layer itself can be used as a doping mask. The light tree region (as described below) is then selectively doped. The grating region is selectively doped with one or more photosensitive materials having a predetermined concentration or erbium component. In some embodiments, the dopants include boron hafnium, Chu (Ge), and / ㈣ (p). The journal is doped with gratings using any riding mechanism, such as ion implantation, spin-on-solution diffusion, or other current or future technologies. In a specific embodiment, the waveguide 102 corresponding to the grating 106 is doped with germanium at a predetermined concentration, so that the grating 1G6 has a first refractive index and a first center wavelength. Similarly, the waveguide 102 region corresponding to the grating 108 is doped with a second predetermined concentration of germanium so that the grating 108 has a second refractive index and a second center wavelength. Similarly, the germanium region, which is called the grating, is turned to a third predetermined concentration of germanium, so that the grating 11G has a third refractive index and a third center wavelength. In the specific embodiment of the present invention, the dopant concentration can change the refractive index of the waveguide region of the photo peach 106 and 10 m by about 0.2%, with an off-center wavelength Q 2%, or at 1 550. 3G Nano under Nano. Then the grating book nest waveguide can be replaced in the impurity region (Figure 1), as shown below. Referring again to Figs. 1 and 2, an operation of 206 is performed to expose the waveguide 102-or multiple doped regions (corresponding to the gratings 1 () 6, m, and / or 11) in the transverse direction of the waveguide 102 to 86896. -11- 200411219 Light under UV light intensity pattern. In a specific embodiment, all the gratings are written simultaneously during exposure, so that the gratings 106, 108, and 110 all have approximately the same grating spacing. In other embodiments, each raster may be individually book-slotted, or any sub-set of rasters may be written simultaneously. In a specific embodiment, an appropriate Ki: F excimer laser / phase mask unit can be used to expose the doped regions (FIG. 1) of the waveguide 102 corresponding to the gratings 106, 108, and 110 to the selected UV light intensity pattern. Because these regions are different from each other, the resulting waveguide gratings will generally have different center wavelengths, even if the grating intervals are approximately the same. In a specific embodiment, the grating 10 has a center wavelength of 1555 nanometers; the grating 108 has a center wavelength of 1520 nanometers; and the grating 110 has a center wavelength of 1560 nanometers. For example, an appropriate KrF excimer laser / phase mask unit can be configured to output a UV light intensity pattern with a height of 300 microns. In a specific embodiment, the waveguide 102 regions of the gratings 106, 108, and 110 are configured so that the height of the total area occupied by the doped regions of the gratings 106, 108, and 110 is less than 300 microns. The resulting photonic device is more dense and can simultaneously form part of the three gratings in a single exposure. In addition, there is no need to adjust the waveguide grating to a center wavelength with the wide bandwidth adjustment of the individual exposure (internal beam angle). In a specific embodiment of the present invention, one or more gratings are longer than the UV beam used to expose the grating, and the waveguide region of the grating may be folded, so that the entire grating can be used in the same exposure. For example, in a specific embodiment where the UV beam is 1 cm, the grating may be 2 cm long, but folded into 1 cm (or shorter) portions of daylight. In this case, the resulting grating has a grating-separated gap (that is, a waveguide segment without a book grating). Such devices are known as sampled or separated Bragg light 86896 12- 411219 The photon farm 100 can be a waveguide chirper to compensate for dispersion. Dispersion-based light wave pulses (transient separation of consecutive colors) and cause band amplitude changes; cause h or pulse overlap; lead to internal symbol interference (1 magic) and cause trouble. In an optical fiber, dispersion occurs because different wavelengths travel at different speeds. The importance of dispersion compensation in optical fiber networks increases with the bit rate, because the bit (optical pulse) is now closer, and the shorter pulse contains a larger span of bandwidth. The photonic device 100 receives a multiplexed light wave signal during operation. The signal enters the waveguide 102 and is incident on the gratings 106, 108, and 110. The multiplexed light wave signal has several single-channel light wave signals each having a central wavelength distribution. According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the grating 106 reflects a first wavelength (for example, 1535 nm) and passes through other wavelengths; the grating 108 reflects a second wavelength (for example, 1550 nm) and passes through other wavelengths; the grating 110 reflects a third wavelength (Eg 1565 nm) and pass through other wavelengths. In another specific embodiment, each grating has a dynamic frequency-shift grating interval to compensate for the dispersion experienced by a data string propagating at that wavelength. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a photonic device 300 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. The photonic device 300 includes a plurality of waveguide waveguides 302, 304, 306, and 308 formed in or on a PLC platform 310. The waveguides 302, 304, 306, and 308 include gratings 312, 314, 316, and 318, respectively. The platform 310 is similar to the platform 104. The waveguides 302, 304, 306, and 308 may be similar to the waveguide 102. The gratings 312, 314, 316, and 318 can be Bragg gratings with nominally the same grating spacing but different center wavelengths. Because of the geometric appearance of each grating 312, 314, 316, and 318 86896 -13- 200411219 (such as wide, deep, High), so the effective refractive indices of these grating regions differ. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the grating 312 may be 7 microns wide; the grating 314 may be 6 microns wide; the grating 316 may be 5 microns wide; and the grating 318 may be 4 microns wide. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, one or more sections of the waveguides 302, 304, 306, and 308 are loaded with hydrogen (the above-mentioned hydrogenation). This type of hydrogen loading can improve the photosensitivity of the waveguide by the order of magnitude and change the effective refractive index of one or more load-bearing sections of the waveguide 302, 304, 306, and / or 308. For example, hydrogen can be selectively implanted in the waveguide regions 302, 304, 306, and 308 corresponding to each grating 3 12, 314, 3 16 and 3 18. Hydrogen can be implanted by ion implantation or by local scrubbing with a hydrogen flame. Hydrogen loading will increase the photosensitivity and produce a different refractive index with a similar degree of UV exposure. In this specific embodiment, during the UV book nest Bragg grating, the wavelength intensity (reflectivity) and the center wavelength are directly paired. In other specific embodiments of the present invention, one or more of the selective pre-exposure or post-exposure waveguides 302, 304, 3 06, and 30 08 are irradiated with uniform UV light at various degrees. This can be used to change the average refractive index of individual waveguides and shift the center wavelengths of the gratings 312, 314, 3 16 and 3 18. Fig. 4 is a diagram representing a relationship between a waveguide width and a center wavelength of a Bragg grating written in a waveguide according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. The diagram represents 400 including the "χ", the axis representing the waveguide width (micrometers), and the "y" axis 404 representing the wavelength (nanometers). The diagram represents 400 including the Bragg grating written in the waveguide. A curve 406 of the center wavelength as the waveguide width changes. Note that in FIG. 4, the center wavelength increases as the waveguide width increases. In another embodiment, the gratings 312, 314, 3 16 and 3 18 may be Light 86896 -14-200411219 Bragg gratings with nominally the same grid spacing but different center wavelengths. This is because the cores of one or more of the waveguides 302, 304, 306, and / or 308 in the grating region are doped, so these The effective refractive indices of the grating regions are different. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the refractive index of the waveguide core and the center wavelength of the Bragg grating written in the waveguide according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. Schematic representation 500 includes the "X" axis 502 representing the core refractive index, and "y" axis 504 representing the wavelength (nanometer). Schematic representation 500 includes the center wavelength of the Bragg grating written in the waveguide. Refractive index change The change curve 5 06. Note that in FIG. 5, the center wavelength increases with the increase of the refractive index of the waveguide. In a specific embodiment, the core can be doped with different concentrations of dopants according to the specific embodiment of the present invention. In order to change the refractive index of the grating written in the waveguide, in another specific embodiment, the core can be doped according to different dopant components (eg, Lu, Boron, Phosphor) of the specific embodiment of the present invention to change the waveguide. Refractive index of a written grating. In another specific embodiment, the gratings 312, 314, 316, and 318 may be Bragg gratings with nominally the same grating spacing but different center wavelengths. This is because the waveguides 302, 304, 306, and / or 308 coatings have different effective refractive indices. For example, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technology can be used to grow a SiO layer on a Si substrate. The nominal thickness of the Si substrate is 15 microns A cladding layer can be deposited on the Si substrate under the SiO layer. Si0 doped with germanium and / or boron can be used to form a core layer to increase the refractive index of Si0. The core layer can be 6 microns thick. Wet etch part of the core layer to leave waves Patterns of 302, 304, 306, and / or 308. Waves of grating regions of each grating 312, 314, 316, and 318 may be doped with, for example, ion implantation doped germanium, boron, or other appropriate dopants. 86896 -15 -200411219 306 and / or 308 in the core layer.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a process 600 for manufacturing a photonic device 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The processor 600 may be executed using a mechanically readable medium having mechanically readable instructions. The treatment of 600 should be regarded as an example, and other treatments may be adopted. The sequence in the block diagrams should not be regarded as related in the order necessary for these actions, or the operations should be performed in the order presented in the block diagrams. Using standard semiconductor manufacturing techniques, operation 602 is performed to fabricate waveguides of different widths in or on the plc platform. As mentioned previously, these techniques include ion implantation, diffusion doping, evaporation, physical vapor deposition, ion assisted deposition, lithography, magnetron sputtering, electron beam sputtering, masking, reactive ion etching, and / or other familiarity. The semiconductor manufacturing technology well known to this artist, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the widths of the waveguide regions corresponding to the gratings 312, 314, 3 16 and 3 18 are 7 μm, 6 μm, 5 μm and 4 μm, respectively. Operation 604 is performed to expose the waveguide regions corresponding to the gratings 312, 314, 316, and / or 3 18 to the selected UV light intensity pattern. In this embodiment, a UV light intensity pattern is provided in the lateral direction of the longitudinal axis of the waveguides 302, 304, 306, and / or 308. This exposure will be in grating writing waveguides 302, 304, 306, and / or 308 with the desired grating spacing for gratings 312, 314, 316, and / or 318. As mentioned above, a suitable KrF excimer laser can be used to generate a UV light intensity pattern. The UV light intensity pattern may have a height of 300 microns. In an 86896-16-200411219 embodiment, the width (or height) of the area occupied by the waveguide region is less than 300 microns. Therefore, the exposure can be all of the gratings at the same time; any one of the individual gratings; or any set of gratings can be written at the same time. The device implemented according to a specific embodiment of the present invention can be more compact, easier to manufacture, and cheaper. For example, in a specific embodiment, a multi-wavelength division Pm multiplex (WDM) filter can be used as the photonic device 300, where one or more gratings 312, 314, 316, and 318 can be addressed, respectively. For example, the device 300 may be a channel dispersion compensating waveguide grating of 40 channels connected in series with 25 gigahertz (GHz) intervals. Therefore, the length and width of the device 300 can be 6 and 2 cm. In a specific embodiment, a motion-frequency private waveguide grating is used as the device, and a controlled cone-shaped refractive index can greatly improve the trouble caused by the grating generated by the standard motion-frequency shifted phase mask method. The group delay ripple is π. FIG. 7 is a simplified diagram of a photonic device 700 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. The photonic device 700 includes several waveguides 702, 704, 706, 708, and 710 formed in or on the PLC platform 750. Each waveguide 702, 704, 706, 708, and 710 has a grating 712, 714, 716, 718, and 720. Waveguides 702, 704, 706, 708 and 710 and waveguides 302, 304, 306 and 308 are similar. Platform 750 is similar to platform 104. Gratings 712, 714, 716, 71 8 and 720 and gratings 106, 108 and 110 are similar, where gratings 712, 714, 716, 718, and 720 may be Bragg gratings with nominally the same grating spacing. The gratings 712, 714, 716, 718 and 720 are similar to the gratings 312, 314, 3 16 and 3 18, and their center wavelengths are different. Because the gratings 312, 314, 316, and 318 have different widths, the waveguide 3 2 , 304, 306 and 308 have different refractive indices. Gratings 712, 714, 716, 718, and 86896 -17- 200411219 720 differ from gratings 312, 314, 316, and 3 18 in that one or more of the gratings 712, 714, 716, 7 18, and / or 720 are tapered , As shown in raster 72. As we all know, the cone shape makes the grating "dynamic frequency shift" (that is, the second set of non-uniform refractive index along the length of the grating). The dynamic frequency shift can be symmetrical, asymmetric, and can be increased or decreased. Alternatively, the dynamic frequency shift can be linear (for example, the refractive index varies linearly with the grating length). Motion frequency shift can be quadratic, random, or separated. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the degree of grating 720 at points 730, 732, 734, and 736 may be 7 micrometers, 6 micrometers, 5 micrometers, and 4 micrometers, respectively. After reading the description here, those skilled in the art will easily understand how to perform various dynamic frequency shifts. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a process 800 for manufacturing a photonic device 700 according to an embodiment of the present invention. A mechanically readable medium with mechanically readable instructions can be used to cause the processor to perform processing 80 times. The processing of 800 is just an example processing, and other processing may be adopted. The order in the block diagrams should not be regarded as related in the order necessary for the operations, or the operations should be performed in the order presented in the block diagrams. Utilize quasi-semiconductor manufacturing techniques such as implantation, doping, evaporation, physical vapor deposition, ion-assisted deposition, lithography, magnetron sputtering, electron beam masking, reactive ion etching, and / or others familiar with this The semiconductor manufacturing technology well known to the artist performs operation 802 to manufacture waveguides with a tapered width in or on the pLC platform. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the waveguide 702 may be a cone-shaped heat insulation. For example, the width or height of the waveguide 702 at points 730, 7W, 734, and 736 may be 7 microns, 6 microns, 5 microns, and 4 microns, respectively. In other specific embodiments' other shapes or sizes are reasonable. 86896 -18-200411219 Perform operation 804 to expose the waveguide areas corresponding to the gratings 712, 714, 716, and / or 718 in the lateral direction of the waveguides 702, 704, 706, 708, and 7 10 to the selected UV light intensity pattern . An intensity pattern is generated to write the gratings in the waveguides 702, 704, 706, 708, and 710 of the gratings 712, 714, 716, and / or 718 with the desired grating spacing, respectively. This exposure can write all the gratings at the same time; any one of the individual gratings; or any one set of book nest gratings at the same time. In a specific embodiment, a suitable KrF excimer laser can be used to generate a UV light intensity pattern. The UV light intensity pattern may have a height of 500 microns. In a specific embodiment, the waveguide regions corresponding to the gratings 712, 714, 716, and / or 718 are closer to each other than 500 microns. FIG. 9 is a block diagram of a WDM system 900 using a photonic device according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. The WDM system 900 includes a planar lightwave circuit (PLC) 902, which has a waveguide 904 formed thereon or thereon; gratings 910, 912, and 914 in or on the waveguide 904. The formation of these gratings will be described later. The system 900 also includes an optical signal source 920 that provides an optical signal received by the PLC 902. Gratings 910, 912, and 914 provide dispersion compensation across multiple optical channels of a WDM system. After passing through the serial gratings 91, 912, and 914, the optical signal can be transmitted to other optical circuit systems (not shown).
